i was referring to the 1000 sacrifices manda asked for after the sannin fight. i'm assuming if he asked orochimaru for 1000 sacrifices, he'll ask sasuke to do the same thing (assuming sasuke bothers with it)

But I don't see why Sasuke would ever need to use Manda specifically. If he wants to get away from a fight like last time, he can summon another set of snakes, control their minds like Manda and poof off somewhere else before whatever other douche self-destructs (though I doubt we'll see another self-destructing ninja).
Edo Tensei is a kinjutsu that is also a tensei ninjutsu. It involves life transfer. We all know Orochimaru's life status was messed as hell with him always trying to maintain 'immortality' and all, but I doubt Sasuke would seriously consider that jutsu.

i don't think he would either - considered he doesn't believe in unnecessary finishes, so i doubt he would WILLINGLY sacrifice someone.

i wonder though, if sasuke went totally over the edge and did manage to off itachi, i wonder if he would use edo tensai for cheap thrills - like summon, tag, tsukiyomi, release, repeat. @_@ (sry, off on a tangent again)

^Doubt it. Sasuke is fighting Itachi not only for revenge but for what he represents. Sasuke loaths people who plays with others lives for the hell of it and playing with Edo Tensei would be something Orochimaru would do, not Sasuke.
